Love in the sun

2

Nathan sat quietly at the back of the Land Rover as he admired the town he crossed into just twenty minutes ago.

The coastal town of Otranto, last time he had been here, he loved the sights from the mosaic floor of Romanesque cathedral to the waterfront promenades.

Looking out of the window, he saw that the town was just as vibrant as it had been before he left, the seafood restaurant was full of tourists like he remembered and then they drew closer to his villa, next to the beach kissed by dazzling aquamarine waters.

He met her at this same beach.

The car came to a stop and he sighed while the driver helped him with his luggage before driving off.

Nathan took in the beauty of the modern front facade design and the gate before him.

He didn't regret buying this property, it served many uses to him and the benefits were worth it.

"You've arrived." He heard a familiar voice greeting him and he returned to reality from his thoughts.

"Indeed I have Val." He smiled at Valentine and his family whom he had kept in charge of his villa.

He was recommended by Sean and was valued for his loyalty.

"Welcome Nathan." His wife Fedora said as she walked up to him, Nathan hugged her and their son Francisco follows suit.

"Francis, you've grown taller since the last time I saw you." He took hold of one Nathan's bags as his mum did same "I am sixteen after all."

"That's good." They were already inside the villa,the security personnel saluted and Nathan nodded in acknowledgment. The staff quarters was at the exterior left end of the property where Valentine and his family lived.

"How was your trip?"
"It was good,I couldn't wait to get back here."

"Mr Paul's engagement is at your hotel at 7pm tonight." Val said in a courteous manner.
"I'll make sure to be in attendance." He looked up to see that his green rooftop was as beautiful as he left it. They used the driveway to go to the entrance before climbing the walkways with a staircase into the entrance of the house.

The indoor outdoor connection to the swimming pool was amazing. Nathan's mum and sister won't ever want to leave once they came over for a visit.

They took his luggage to the master bedroom while he admired the villa for a while.
"I made panzenella for you." Fedora announced "I haven't had your dish in a while, I'll go upstairs then freshen up before coming down to eat."

"As you wish." Nathan jogged up the stairs to the master bedroom, he remembered her on the bed, her memories came back again and he smiled at them.

He took a quick cold shower before putting on his shorts and slips a shirt on. He went to the balcony where the beach view could be taken, the same beach they met on.

He considered the fact that she may be there in the morning. "Could it be?" He muttered and raced down immediately "Are you ready to eat?" Fedora called out and he sighed inwardly, leaving would be rude so he helped himself. He's done in a matter of a few minutes.

"It's really good but I have to go now."
"Alright don't forget about the engagement party." She reminded him as he darted for the garage where they're are only two cars; BMW 3 and Lamborghini huracan. He retrieved the car keys for the Lamborghini then hopped in.

He sped out the gate with thoughts runing through his head. In no time due to his speed he's at the beach. He took a deep breath to compose himself and parked the car.
